conf: turn config_get_path() into config_dup_path()
config_get_path() was somewhat flawed, because it pretended to be a function, when it really had a side effect. The second flaw was that it did not return the parser error, instead it aborted the whole process, which is bad style. The new function returns a duplicated (modified) string that must be freed by the caller, and returns a GError on failure.
